Made into a Christmas card: 

'Twas the Night Before Christmas (1945), American Artists Group, N.Y., No. 15 A 70
Also known as Santa Claus at the “Little Brick House,” the image depicts Santa Claus in his reindeer-drawn sleigh flying over a small, slant-roof cottage that was the Burchfield family's first home in Salem, Ohio, with an apparition of a star-topped Christmas tree covered with candles behind the house, next to a stand of poplars.
